Greetings. This offer is relevant only for delivery in Russia.

We don't have documentation in English yet.

 

Definitly buying when it's ready for the European market!

Man...looking at the quality of the Sphinx kit...want to throw my Pegasus in the bin and buy the Sphinx 😄 (not sufficient funds and waste of product if i did  )

Great progress so far! Enjoying your build  

Man...this is beautiful! 

The ship looks really beautiful so far! Really enjoying your build log!

Exciting! Indeed curious how many hours it will take for James...we all know he works with some magic lightning speed  

Lovely!

That Indy is a beautiful design! I wish i had more money on my bank account! 😮 

Great build so far! Nice to see another Pegasus build log...it will be interesting to follow!

Hey Mugje

 

Thanks for the compliment, the support is always appreciated.

 

As for the decoration I thought about it long and hard and considered the following factors before deciding not to do this.

 

1. I didn't feel that it was that much of a realistic representation of what this embellishment would have looked like in real life.

2. Apparently the vessel would only have had these decorations immediately after its commissioning but for the bulk of its career they would not be in place.

3. I was concerned that the provided components may not actually fit that well into the allocated area due to slight variations between the plan and my model.

4. I was told that CA(super glue) can deteriorate over time and I anticipated these parts starting to fall off in the future and ruining the model)

5. I kind of like the somewhat more traditional feel of the model without the decoration on it. This is just a personal choice but she feels a bit more "serious" without it.

 

All this being said, I really did struggle with the choice but ultimately decided that is what would be best. I loved how they looked on the Pegasus built by B.E. but I'm satisfied with the choice on my version.

 

One other thing worth mentioning is that I saw a model where they replaced the blue paint with black and it created a much more aggressive and sinister feel which I really liked but saw too late to make the change. It might be worth considering.

 

I hope you are well otherwise and that this helped with your decision.

 

Cheers, TBE

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the same feeling about them as you...i also do like the more traditional look without the decorations. 

And regarding the black or blue color... that's something to think about indeed. Thanks for your input!

Looks great man! you've come a long way.

You did not use the golden side decorations? I'm doubting myself to to use them. I'm not sure if i like the look of them.

That is a really neat finish, so clean! Nice job! 

That is a beautiful result! And what a nice presentation of the ship, i really like it  

I understand what you mean...it does look too monotonous, but a great time-saver for those who don't like to plank the deck. But i would too plank it over with some nice planks.

What a lovely job you are doing at this ship! Great!

Welkom Kloppie!

Exciting to watch! You and Chris are on fire with designing and building  

Wonderful build James, And great design by Chris! Simply lovely!

Really nice! Great neat modifications!

Really nice coppering job!

Looks nice!!

Looks great!! My intention was also to use the "top and butt" planks for the wales, but with the curves in the bow it looked a bit daunting...but good to see you managed it well...gives me also a bit of confidence to tackle it  

So clean! 😮

That is going fast! Nice job!👍

Great to hear your bussiness is going well.👍

Looks good indeed! If you need more curve in the middle, you can always use some planks between the clamp and the strips. But maybe that isn't necessary...it is a bit hard to tell on the photos.
